Statements in Debates
Thank you, Mr. Beaulieu. I didn’t hear a question, more of a comment. Next on my list is Mr. Ramsay.
I would like to get the Minister to commit to actually providing the Members on this side of the House with a bit of a breakdown of how the process is intended to work. Also, I would like the Minister to commit to actually, like I indicated, getting this information to the pharmacists, because the pharmacists I talked to today don’t know anything about the changes in the process.
Thank you, Mr. Jacobson. I didn’t hear a question. I’ll take it as a comment. Next on my list is Mr. Beaulieu.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In February 2008 I asked the Minister of Health and Social Services some questions about the palliative care drug approval process for extended health care benefits. In April I received a response from the Minister indicating that the department is taking steps to simplify the approval process for approving coverage of palliative care drugs and that something would be in place by this summer. I was wondering if the Minister could please give me an update on that process to streamline the distribution of medication to palliative care patients.
Thank you, Minister Miltenberger. Next on the list is Mr. Jacobson.
Once again, that’s all great news. I’m actually quite happy to hear that. I’m curious as to when these things are going to start to happen. Are these things imminent, or are they in the 2009–2010 plan? When are we actually going to see some movement on some of these space issues? I’m glad to hear they’re happening. I think they need to be done, but can you give us a bit of a timeline?
Thank you, Mr. Bromley. Minister Miltenberger.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions are in follow up to my Member’s statement and are directed to the Minister of Health and Social Services.
During the May–June session the Minister committed to following through on the development and finalization of the Stanton Master Development Plan and made it one of the priorities of the newly appointed public administrator for Stanton. Today in the 2009–2010 Capital Estimates there is no master development plan. The Stanton Master Development Plan is completely missing.
I was wondering if the Minister could tell me why the Stanton Master Development...
Thank you, Mr. Beaulieu. Minister Miltenberger.
Thank you, Mrs. Groenewegen. Mr. Aumond.
